3.2 Montaggio della telecamera e del pannello solare

Install the camera 2-3 meters (7-10 feet) above the ground. This height maximizes the detection range of the motion sensor. For optimal motion detection, install the camera at an angle rather than directly facing the detection area.

For dome cameras (if applicable to your system), they must be installed upside down for better waterproof performance and motion sensor efficiency.

Ensure the solar panel is positioned to receive 2-3 hours of direct sunlight daily for continuous power.

3.3 Connecting Your System (NVR)

If your system includes an NVR (Network Video Recorder), follow these steps:

1. Connect the NVR to power using the included power adapter. Connect a mouse to the NVR's USB port.
2. Connect the NVR to a PC monitor or TV with an HDMI cable. Skip this step if your NVR has a built-in monitor. Per la configurazione iniziale è necessario un monitor. Dopo aver completato la configurazione iniziale, non è necessario collegare l'NVR a una TV o a un monitor per view o acquisire registrazioni.
3. Connect the NVR to your router with an Ethernet cable if you plan to use it remotely. You can also connect the NVR to your router via Wi-Fi through the NVR's Network Setting > Wireless network setting.
4. Follow the on-screen steps of the Startup Wizard on the monitor/TV to complete the initial setup.
5. Turn on the power switch on the battery cameras. You should see each camera appear on your monitor/TV.
6. Bring cameras to desired mounting locations, power them on, and go back to the NVR screen. Wait 5 minutes to see if they stream fluently. If a camera does not stream well, move it to a location with less obstacles in line-of-sight from the NVR.

Note: Select a least interfered Wi-Fi channel so your NVR performs its best Wi-Fi capability. In NVR's menu System setting > Network > NVR Wi-Fi hotspot, clicca Canale adattivo.

3.4 Associazione di una nuova telecamera all'NVR

By default, each camera within your NVR kit comes pre-paired to the NVR. If you want to add more cameras, follow these steps:

1. Hold the ON/OFF switch of the camera to turn it on. Make sure the camera is in Modalità di accoppiamento. If not, reset the camera to bring it to Pairing Mode.
2. Con l'NVR collegato a una TV/monitor, fare clic sull'icona '+' in basso e seguire la guida sullo schermo per associare la telecamera all'NVR.
3. Una volta accoppiata con successo, la nuova fotocamera apparirà in un campo video vuoto.

Note: Pairing a replacement camera is similar to adding a new add-on camera. You need to delete the old camera from NVR first, and then start pairing the replacement camera to NVR.

3.5 Posizionamento dell'NVR e delle telecamere

La distanza tra la telecamera e l'NVR può raggiungere fino a 1300 metri in modalità wireless, in linea di vista. Il corretto posizionamento dell'NVR wireless in casa contribuirà a garantire la massima copertura.

Do not place near high voltage cavi o altre fonti di interferenza elettrica. Le interferenze elettriche degraderanno la qualità del segnale.

6.5 Devo usare le telecamere con i pannelli solari?

No, you can use the cameras without solar panels. The cameras' batteries last 45-120 days depending on how often they are activated. You will need to take the cameras down to recharge when battery is low.
